I would have never read your title. The whole reason I clicked was because of the mystery element.

To me it sounded like click bait. So I checked comments and concluded that it was indeed about the very visible RDS signal and not some hidden channel used by some secretive agency that would indeed be somewhat mysterious.

I don't think the fact that it worked in generating clicks is really an argument for bait titles. Given the positive comments about the content I think some editorializing could have been helpful to focus on the hacking journey aspect though, which seems to be the point rather the specifics of RDS itself.

Why do you need to be manipulated into reading something? When it turns out they are calling standard radio data "mysterious" don't you feel lied to?

Isn't that the definition of clickbait?
